From Testing to Assessment: English An International Language (Applied Linguistics and Language Study)

From Testing to Assessment: English as an International Language provides a critical review of conventional and alternative approaches to the assessment of English literacy skills in various parts of the world. It presents empirical studies conducted in three major settings: in countries such as Japan and Brazil where English functions as the language of international commernce; in multilingual countries such as Nigeria and Zimbabwe where English is the national language of education and government; and in such countries as Canada, the United Kingdom and the United States where English is the dominant language.The book opens with a discussion of language assessment in relation to debates about the nature of literacy; it concludes with a discussion of policy implications, which is grounded in literacy theory as well as in practical constraints such as available human and material resources.

A study of the nature and purpose of prophecy both as a means of revelation in biblical times and as a spiritual ministry today, this book should also help readers to distinguish between true and false prophets - to "discern the spirits", in a biblical phrase. Clifford Hill is the editor of "Prophecy Today" and has a worldwide prophetic ministry.

Children and Reading Tests (Advances in Discourse Processes, 65)

The increasing reliance of our educational system on standardized tests has precipitated a national debate. This debate, however, has proceeded with little attention to the tests themselves. This book makes a scholarly contribution to the debate by using the methods of discourse analysis to examine not only representative material from reading tests but also children's responses to it.
